If owner has any other preference, check below:

8.2.4 STEAM OUT CONDITIONS

Vessels provided with steam out conditions shall be designed for the following steam
out conditions irrespective of whether LP Steam or MP steam is required for steam
out:

(a) Pressure = 0.5 kg/cm²g.

(b) Temperature = Maximum LP Steam temperature = 150 °C

8.2.5 MINIMUM DESIGN METAL TEMPERATURE (MDMT)

Designer shall specify MDMT.Ambient temperature data are as per Section 4.

8.3 HEAT EXCHANGERS AND COOLERS

8.3.1 FOULING FACTOR

8.3.1.1 FOULING FACTORS FOR PROCESS STREAMS

Fouling factors for process streams shall be decided by designer based on past experience
and good design practices.However, owner's overriding considerations towards fouling
factors for specific units or process streams shall be the basis of specifications, if spelt out in
respective unit BEDB Part-A documents.

8.3.1.2 FOULING FACTOR FOR UTILITY STREAMS

EIL recommends the following default fouling factors for utility streams which is
recommended to be followed as a minimum. However, in case client has other controlling
preferences, same is to be followed for the particular service.

Utility Stream EIL Default Owner Preference

Cooling Water 0.0004 hr-m²-°C/kCal
DM Water 0.0001 hr-m²-°C/kCal
Tempered Water 0.0002 hr-m²-°C/kCal
Condensate 0.0001 hr-m²-°C/kCal
Steam 0.0001 hr-m²-°C/kCal
Nitrogen 0.0001 hr-m²-°C/kCal
Air 0.0001 hr-m²-°C/kCal

8.3.2 VELOCITY CONSTRAINTS

EIL recommends that constraints be specified for tube side velocities for better on-stream
factors of heat exchangers / air coolers, as applicable in fouling services.The considerations
for the limitations are as follows:
Cooling water flow rates are normally not expected to be turned down during operation and
can be designed for a velocity constraint applied only for normal flow.

Residue and heavy oil services would have flow rates turned up or turned down during
operation and need to be designed for a velocity range that will ensure low fouling re gime.

For slurry oils such as catalytic cracker bottoms, such a velocity range has to ensure that
solids do not settle out in the tubes while ensuring that this will not result in erosion of tubes.
